> I like spelling reform a little bit, but I like etymology more.
I love the spirit but wouldn't a new change in spelling fit right in with all the past, etymological changes? Isn't it antietymological to try to freeze words as they are? :)
A very interesting study might be made of the etymological history lost with past changes.
Of course, but these are opposing forces that both deserve respect. How much do we want to live in the past? I say a non-zero amount.
